Hello everyone,

anyone can help me to solve it?

With reference to qn 3, why i cannot use the following method to get the 2009 real NOPLAT

Equals: 2009 real EBIT = $598,840
Minus: Taxes (31.82%)* = ($190,551)
Equals:2009 NOPLAT = $408,289

*can we get the real taxes by 35%/ 1.10? If cannot, how to compute the tax amount of $238,000 (nominal tax amount)?

Regarding qn 4, why the calculation below is wrong

In Nominal Term
ENding PPE = $1660
+depreciation = $214
-Bgn PPE =($1500)
Equals: = $374

why we must compute in real term, then only translate to nominal term?

Anyone can me to solve my doubt? Thank you

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
